The processor is designed to use a very low voltage which makes the laptop as a whole more energy efficient and lengthens the life of the battery. The Dell Vostro V13 includes an integrated webcam and a microphone so it can be used for web conferencing or recording. The laptop comes comes with Windows 7 installed and has room for up to 4GB of memory, pretty decent for an extremely thin laptop. It also includes safety measures for the security conscious, including optional full-data-encrypted hard drives.
